Fake 35th Tomato Underworlds? - Darloal - 21-06-06

First time poster, long time reader. I love you guys.

I need help, big time, I have just gone out and bought around 6 pairs of 35th Superstars over the past month or so.
I have wanted some of these since I was so (-) big.
Now I have a bit of money, I went to town.
Big problem is that I have just got my fave pair of underworld tomatos, they have just been delivered and they look exactly like they do in these photos.
Problem is I have just found this website (If only I knew earlier)

So here we go guys;

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7773237228&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.ebay.co.uk%3A80%2Fsearch%2Fsearch.dll%3Ffrom%3DR40%26satitle%3D7773237228%26fvi%3D1

and here are some Bad Boys I bought;

Item number: 9328273300

and some 35th Suede.

Item number :7772818394

All look exactly like the photos in the item. I have RUN DMC, Black and white etched I'll post once I photo them for you oh so ever sweet scrutiny.

But I trust you guys will help me out and let me know if these are dappa or not.

What are you on about? Look at my ebay history - spot any Neighbohoods? I have never had a pair of neighborhoods in my life (I wish). If this forum is a closed - only open - to regular members and not newbies, then fine I'll tittle off, but dont ever accuse me of something I have never done. I recon you should get your dogs sisters boyfriends mums aunty come online and varify that I have never delt with them before?

note my ebay name is the same as my user name here. I am not hiding Jack.

And also note I have won each auction, I am not selling these shoes - I HAVE ALREADY BOUGHT THEM.

Whoops!

He was warning you not to deal with Millofans

He's been known to sell fakes in the past.

Nobody's having a go at you mate.

Ah Crap. I am very very sorry.

I still dont understand it though, These shoes light up like they should, they look bang on, feel sweet as sugar but alarm bells rang when the laces (yes just the laces) were different to pickyourshoes.com and I mean the secondary laces, not the ones with tomato over them. Fakes are supposed to be badly made and not look right, aren't they. Hey I may be in denial - but Honestly I'm not! ;->

Again, sorry for being a jumped up stressed out dude. I am what I am, and I am sorry.

And the other 2 pair are just as silky, whats the deal?

Sorry to say, but I'm pretty sure the Underworlds are fake, and that millo-guy seem to be selling nothing but fakes. If it's not too late, try contacting your bank or PayPal and them refund the money. They should be able to do so within 30 days.

Good luck mate and welcome aboard!

Hi Darloal & welcome to the site!

As you say, the underworlds do look spot on but...

Millofans has been listing alot of fakes & the fact they come with those laces means it doesn't look good i'm afraid

Just for the record my underworlds came with plain laces the same "sand" colour as the shoes, fatter chocolate brown laces with gold writing saying tomato/underworld (the same as the insoles & heel tab) & a pair of fatter white laces with brown writing saying tomato/underworld.

The lace tag (jewel) has a trefoil engraved in the back of it & the soles should have "adidas" molded into them at the very back on the outside edge of the tread (directly inline with the heel)

Hope that helps!

Hmmm, just checked and yeah my shoes have all them you mention (bar the choc laces). The sandy laces are not fat ones and are the same colour as the shoe. The addidas on the sole is hard to see as its small, but yeah...its there molded at the back. The other laces a tad creamier than the other laces with underworld on the top and tomato underneath but inverted (Like a mirrored effect). If I am gonna get a refund I need more to go on if you possibly can help? Although If the laces are the only difference between these and fake, I'm pretty happy with them....but shhhh dont tell anyone cos I wont.

I also got a pair of white laces the same width as the sandy ones hence my thought on pickyourshoes.com laces I made above. As I say No Choc laces though more like a creamy colour.

What about the other two pair of shoes I bought are they sweet? or Sour like these appear to be?

The ONE thing that differs from them to real neighbourhoos in my opinion, is the size of the trefoil on the heel..

the ones on mine are no where as big as the ones in that ebay auction

But it cud be a bad photo..

plus..



that image looks like the sole is shiney.. and mine is a matt finish..

so you might of got some bad ones there buddy

welcome anyway!

...but they're underworlds not neighborhoods olstar!



Everyone knows neighborhoods don't have trefoils on the heel!

I meant underworlds...

Hmm it was late and i was stoned...

- dj_wildthing - 22-06-06

also, regarding the Underworlds, the label on the box is not placed properly and the laces are packed loosely, both signs that give away fakes these days...

Reference Millofans - brad71081 - 23-06-06

Hi all,

As a few may know, I recently purchase Captain Tsubasa's off him. I emailed him after advice from yourselves stating not to be a dick and give me my money back as they are fake. I immediately got an email back stating they were genuine from the supplier he has.
I told him I wouldnt leave negative or chase up gettin my money back if he supplies me a couple more pairs for the price he gets them. I have had a good luck at my tsubasa's and all i can see that is wrong is the pic on the right hand shoe is a little too far forward and the box hasnt got the L shape in the corner. Does this defianately mean they are fakes. He stands buy his word stating they arent fake. Also the price he pays for them (or so he says) isnt very low.

We are going on what we have researched and been told.

Apparetnly adidas were really careful about the stickers on the boxes - ensuring they were all stuck on straight etc..

And i would of thought the design woudl be almost identical on every genuine version of the tsubasa..

So if it does vary a lot, then id say they were fakes..

OR factory varients!

The guy might belive he is buying real ones, and is fact being sold dodgy fakes himself!

You've only got to look at the laces in his Neighborhoods auctions and you know they are fake.
He's not gonna have fake one but real others.
No chance, avoid !
